Yeah. It's so you don't have to always battle and hunt Floettes, but you can just breed them and get any color.

Personally, I think they should go by core series... because you can always ensure a blue Floette from a mother blue Floette, and plus, you could just trade them around. I guess it makes it challenging and easier at the same time.
